O Women, * be the heralds of good news and tell what you saw; * tell of the vision and say to Sion: * "Accept the good news of joy from us, * the news that Christ has risen." *Exult and celebrate * and rejoice, O Jerusalem, * seeing Christ the King coming from the tomb * like a bridegroom."

"The monastery is the prophetic place where creation becomes praise of God and the precept of concretely lived charity becomes the ideal of human coexistence; it is where the human being seeks God without limitation or impediment, becoming a reference point for all people, bearing them in his heart and helping them to seek God."Pope John Paul II, Orientale Lumen (Light of the East)
